Does Mimas look familiar? Some think
this moon resembles the death-star from Star Wars. What do you think?

Mimas is the 20th largest
moon in the solar system and the smallest body to become rounded by
its own gravity.

Herschel

The sixth largest of Saturn's regular

One of only 3 bodies in the outer solar
